Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron leaves game after being hit with slapshot

Bergeron was heading towards the Rangers' net in the first minute of the second period when he was hit by a shot from Bruins defenceman Dennis Wideman. He had logged 8:17 of ice time when he left the game.

Bergeron was named to Canada's Olympic men's hockey team on Wednesday. He has 11 goals, 20 assists and a plus-4 rating in 40 games with Boston this season.

There was no immediate word on his condition, but he was not expected to return to action Monday.
